Common Questions
Q: Will these bags fit my 3-inch pillar candles?
A: Yes! The 4-inch side gusset easily accommodates pillar candles up to 4 inches in diameter. A standard 3-inch pillar slides right in with room for tissue paper or decorative filler if you want to add a finishing touch.
Q: How do I seal these bags for a professional look?
A: You have options! Fold the top and secure with a decorative sticker, tie with ribbon or twine for a rustic look, or use a heat sealer for a clean, tamper-evident finish. Many candle makers add a branded label across the fold for extra polish.
Q: Can I use these for shipping candles?
A: Absolutely. The 0.75 mil poly protects candles from scuffing and dust during transit. For shipping, we recommend wrapping each bagged candle in tissue paper or bubble wrap inside your shipping box for complete protection.
